Captain Erika Hernandez

Notes

Captain of the NX-02, Hernandez was an old girlfriend of Captain Archer. The two broke off their relationship when Archer was promoted to Captain, as he felt it was inappropriate to date a junior officer. When Archer was on Earth after defeating the Xindi weapon, Hernandez accompanied him on a mountain climbing trip and the two rekindled their romance when she pointed out that they were now of equal rank again.1 The Columbia was finally launched some months later, shortly after Commander Tucker joined the ship as Chief Engineer.2 Shortly afterwards Hernandez assisted the NX-01 in resolving a crisis involving a deadly virus which was threatening to sweep through the Klingon Empire.3
